59款咖啡查出致癌物，你常喝的瑞幸星巴克都“中招”了（朗读版）|E1212

▍原文

A contaminant, as a possible carcinogenic for humans, has been found in 59 freshly made coffee samples of 20 brands, including Luckin and Starbucks, a recent test by the Fujian Province Consumer Council revealed.


Acrylamide is classified as a "Group 2A probable carcinogen" by the IARC. 


To reduce the daily intake of acrylamide, one would avoid baked and deep-fried food as much as possible, but cutting down on coffee wouldn't be nearly as effective.
